Have you experimented with "all bills" included on a property?

I recently purchased a property that is a 1 bd house. Its only 740 sq ft. I have completely remodeled it an its beautiful. This is small property but it sits on 2 acres. I plan to build another house on the property toward end of winter. The yard being 2 acres really needs riding lawn more. Not many people moving into 1 bd houses with lawn tractors. I'm in college town so renting not an issue. I'm planning to provide lawn service passing it along in the price of the unit. Now thinking of experimenting with providing all utilities, lawn care, basic cable and internet, to include basic furniture. Wife thinks won't be worth the effort. I'm thinking its move in ready. Your chilling on the couch tonight and attempt to target a new teacher maybe for the college or new working professional to the area that wants little privacy. I don't want to do daily or any leases shorter than 6 months. Obviously, I want to add premium to my cost of paying electric bill, cable bill, trash etc. My portfolio is 15 properties so I am not new to being a landlord I've just never provided "all utilities" included. Had any luck or bad luck doing this?
